Today was long, hot, and very productive. I spent the early morning transplanting tomatoes in the greenhouse before it reached it's afternoon 110 degrees. Then at 10:30am Rich and Brad from maintenance showed up to help me put up the garden fence. We spent the next two hours tearing down an old research plot fence in order to resurrect it around the garden, only to continue right after lunch. I used a gas powered augur to drill holes for the posts, and by 4:30 we had all but one side of the garden fenced in with all our reused fencing used up. What a job! In the evening I had some great help from some eager volunteers, and we planted some beans and beets as well as worked in a bunch of compost to some newly tilled areas of the garden. The garden now looks much more official (ans smaller) with the fence, and things are really coming together. Also the first sprouting seeds in the ground popping up today. Yay!
